Pleased with purchase
I ordered a N. ventricosa and received a nice plant of the size I like to start with. I thought I might receive a smaller plant, but, fortunately, I received a plant that is the perfect size. As usual, the plant was packed for shipment in a careful manner, and even a heat pad was included. Thanks, guys.

Nepenthes ventricosashipping and care instruction
This unique plant arrived in great shape. Has been producing additional pouches regularly since I received it. I'm very pleased with your handling in shipping and instructions for care.

Lovely little plant
Shipped safely and arrived in great condition even though it was midwinter. As a bonus, there were already a couple small pitchers on the vine. I thought I'd have to wait for them to grow, but they were already grown and healthy!

Gorgeous! I'm super happy
I was super happy when my little pitcher plant arrived. It was packaged super carefully and I was surprised it was so nicely grown! It's my first time ordering and I assumed it would be a tiny little baby plant a couple inches high, but it arrived with 5 fully formed pitchers, some of which were huge! The plant was a good 4 or 5 inches high in a nice, green plastic pot. I'd highly recommend this plant (it's survived me and is doing well) and this website. I've already told a couple of friends.
